[i]There was just some stuff that made Booker stare in confusion. The pirate captain had seen a lot in his day, but a woman wearing fire was most certainly an anomaly to him. He stood from his seat in the bar and grabbed a drink for her. Booker took his seat across from her, sliding a drink to her half of the table.
"Hope you don't mind I'm bringing you one instead?" [/i]

She gulped it down rather quick before smiling at the man, happy she got a drink, not caring who brought it. "Ah! Thanks! I don't care who brings it as long as I get one. I do wonder why you came over here though. Don't you have your band of sketchy guys to attend to? You like, in a gang or something?"
-
[i]"Something like that," Booker said with a grin, shaking his head slightly. He looked into his drink for a moment and pondered - Did he really looks sketchy? He drank it and looked back up at the woman. "They'll be fine alone, I just came to see what was up with you. You're on fire right now, and I mean that as both a compliment and literally." [/i]
-
"Umm. Thanks." She shrugged not really getting the compliment. "Yeah, I don't like clothes, but apparently nudity is bad so I use fire. It works and I still feel free as a bird so I don't mind."
-
[i]"Riiight. So you don't like clothes, is that a religion thing or something?" [/i]
-
"No, just not used to it." She shrugged again. "I'm used to hunting with my sisters in an Eternal Forest where clothes don't exactly matter."
-
[i]"An eternal forest? Whats that?" [/i]
-
"It's where we hunt. The perfect place for any hunter." She sighed, as if remembering some great memory. "Woods that go on forever, filled with the most dangerous creatures imaginable."
-
[i]"Huh. Would you be keeping pelts if you killed something there?" [/i]
-
"Yes, I have the largest collection of my sisters actually!" She seemed to get a bit excited at mentioning it. "Very rare ones too!"
-
[i]"Huh. Where is this forest?" [/i]
-
"I...uhh...I'm not sure. I just go there." She chuckled. "I can just appear there if I want really to. It's weird. I'm not a teleporter, I swear, I just can for some reason to that specific place."
-
[i]"That place sounds like fun. Who knows, maybe I'll find it some day." [/i]
-
"Maybe. I honestly have no idea if it's one of those dumb magical things or not. I bet you just want to sell the rare and exotic pelts though."
-
[i]"Nah, not entirely," Booker said to her. He would sell some of them, though there would be some that he kept. [/i]
-
"I do it for the challenge, to get stronger, and brag to my sisters." She laughed a little. "It's not even a competition with them."
-
[i]"They aren't as good as you, I guess?" [/i]
-
"Well, they also don't hunt as much. A few paint, some others play games....I hunt."
-
[i]"Sounds like a fun family. How often do you hunt?"[/i]
-
"Everyday!" She cheered. "Almost all day."
-
[i]"Huh, nice." Booker finished up with his drink. "I think I ought to be getting out of here soon. It was nice talking to you, er..." [/i]
-
"Alex. It was fun talking to you too..."
-
[i]"Booker." Alex seemed cool enough in Booker's opinion, so he grabbed a pen from his pocket and a napkin. He wrote his phone number on it with the words "Let's hang out sometime" on it, and he slid it to Alex. He didn't mean it in a romantic way, to be clear. [/i]
-
"If I called this could I help kill some people with no strings attached?" She asked, taking the paper.
-
[i]"...Depends."[/i]
-
"On what?" She raised a brow, expecting a catch.
